An AI-powered claims platform for demurrage disputes under $20,000 — at top-tier maritime legal quality. Backed by Interlegal's 30-year archive.
LMAA Small Claims Procedure minimum cost is around $15,000 in fees. Top-tier maritime firms need $3-7k just to assess a claim. The result: shipowners and charterers write off the long tail of demurrage — billions every year.
Minimum LMAA SCP cost. Uneconomic below $25k claims.
What a top-tier firm needs to charge just to assess one claim.
Share of demurrage disputes under $20k. Currently unserved.
Together they cover both sides of every dispute — and the small questions in between.
A senior maritime counsel opinion on a single question. "Is this NOR valid?" "Should we pursue?" Lawyer-reviewed, AI-researched.
End-to-end claims handling: parse documents, calculate laytime, draft demand letter, negotiate, settle. Owner pays only when we recover.
Both parties agree. Both submit independently. Interlegal expert issues a binding written determination. Fills the gap nothing else serves under $20k.
Anyone can subscribe to Claude. The moat is not the AI. The moat is 30 years of maritime outcomes that nobody else has — and nobody else can buy.
Settlement percentages by port, by charter form, by charterer. Thousands of closed matters. Senior partner judgement encoded in real settled outcomes.
Which exception clauses held in which jurisdictions. Which Gencon variants hide what risk. Black Sea, Mediterranean, Bosphorus — port-specific practice.
Internal register of charterers. Who settles fast at 60%, who fights every claim to the bar, who pays only after arbitration is filed.
30-year reputation in maritime. Recognised by P&I clubs, brokers, owners. Trust that takes decades to build — and minutes to use.
Laytime calculation is deterministic Python, not an AI guess. The model parses documents, drafts the prose, and surfaces case law. Every artefact is reviewed by a junior and approved by a senior before anything leaves the firm.
Drag SOF and charterparty. Or forward an email. Free first assessment.
OCR, structured extraction, deterministic laytime engine. Engine version recorded.
Junior reviews AI output side-by-side with source. Senior approves before sending.
Demand letter, counter-arguments, settlement agreement. E-signed in-portal.
External quarterly benchmark against an independent HFW-level senior on 20 cases certifies top-tier parity. If we fall below — root cause, fix, re-test, then continue.
Pydantic-validated extraction. Bad input never reaches the engine.
Deterministic Python laytime calculator, cross-checked by an independent model.
Mandatory side-by-side review of every artefact. Edits captured as training signal.
Mandatory in Year 1 on every claim. 20% sampling after maturity. Audit-logged.
The market for sub-$20k maritime claims has no proportionate forum today. Laytime is that forum — backed by the firm with the only archive that matters.
